    ok so about a month ago i blow out the drain tubes and they were clean, i ran a cup of water and it worked. I still have a leaking sunroof and its real annoying when i make a stop or turn water just poors out all over my lap i removed the map lights and sunroof switch assembly and just shoved a paper towel in there. im guessing that some type of weather stripping needs replacement? any ideas? anyone have an idea of how much it would cost?

    I would probably guess the seal around the sun roof itself. Not sure what the price or the difficulty of changing it.

    Check that first ^^^^

    Would be the easiest and most simple fix if that is indeed your problem. Also on a side note, are you sure your sun roof is closing completely?

    Yea, didn't think of that, mine does stick sometimes and I have to give it a little push. Good call on that one Street. He could do the dollar bill trick. Stick the dllar half way out the s/r, close it, and slide it around the s/r to see if there are any spots that it moves really easy.

    Having to push up on it to help it open is probably just some dirt and grim build up from over the years. I have to do it with mine every now and then if I don't open it for awhile. Might just need a good cleaning and some new lube put on it.
